Reconnect with your pelvic floor this Valentine’s Day

Why have 43% of women said that they aren’t confident when it comes to spending intimate time with their partner?

What is the reason behind 1 in 10 women saying their sex life is ruined completely? The issue quite simply, and quite surprisingly, is Bladder Weakness. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to discuss & raise awareness of this issue, highlight the facts, and share with you how we can do something about it.

Last year we teamed up with Sex & Relationship expert Annabelle Knight to discover the various challenges and embarrassment that women are facing with their sex lives. A survey we conducted found that women over 40 suffering from Bladder Weakness are looking for ways to avoid intimacy in the bedroom with:

30% making up ‘sex-cuses’ to avoid sex altogether*

23% saying that Bladder Weakness has led them to have less sex*

27% admitting they never have sex at all*

1 in 10 saying that Bladder Weakness has ruined their sex life completely*

Bladder Weakness can impact on women’s sex lives in a whole host of ways, but generally, women will experience a loss of sensation as well as embarrassing & unpredictable leaks during sex, which can have a big impact on their confidence and sexual appetite.

“While sex is an important part of a healthy relationship, it also has many positive physical, intellectual, emotional and social benefits including helping you to lead a healthy life, strengthening the immune system, alleviating stress, burning calories and lowering blood pressure – among other benefits!” says Annabelle Knight. So, whether you are in a long-term relationship or one that’s just starting out, sex is an important factor to consider for your overall health, so don’t let Bladder Weakness get in the way this Valentine’s Day.

The research we conducted also highlighted the serious struggles that menopausal women in particular face, in the bedroom with 30% saying that menopause had impacted their sex life due to accompanying incontinence, and 50% saying that it had impacted their confidence when it comes to being intimate with a partner*

“As well as dealing with hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness, menopausal women may also have to deal with the decrease or loss of their sex drive due to depleted oestrogen and testosterone levels within their bodies. This can leave many couples struggling to readjust to their new sexual dynamic”,Annabelle Knight, Sex & Relationship Expert
